Lymphangiomas are benign hamartomas of the lymphatic vessels. They are congenital malformations that are usually present at birth or diagnosed as early as two years of age. Though 75% of lymphangiomas occur in head and neck region, its occurrence in the maxillary antrum is a very rare entity. Very few cases have been reported in the literature so far. We report a case of lymphangioma of the maxillary sinus in a 29 year old male patient which was discovered as an accidental finding during open reduction of a maxillary complex fracture. Complete surgical excision was done with no reports of recurrence.
